Happy Khmer New Year!

We have had a great week finishing off all of our 'Going Green' unit work. Maths and Language assessments done and getting ready to start all new units when we get back from our week long break. 

• Please check your child's individual page to see their 'Going Green' book from the student - led - conferences.

• You will also see an Action Plan. These plans were created by your child to try to make a difference in their environments. It would be great if your child takes any steps toward this action plan during the break that you take a photo as evidence and email it to me. Then I will know that they have acted on this plan and taken action!

Khmer New Year

On Wednesday Ms Sophie shared with us some information about Khmer New Year.

and taught us two really fun games - Leak Konseng and Donderm Sleukcher. 

The first game we played was Leak Konseng. We all sat in a circle and one person walked around the circle holding a scarf. Everyone in the circle say the Leak Konseng song. When they dropped the scarf behind you, you had to get up and chase the next person beside you with the scarf. If you hit the person with the scarf you were the winner. It was hilarious!!

The second game Donderm Sleukcher was brilliant. We had two teams and each person had a number. If your number was called you had to run to the middle and try to get the stick before the other person. You then had to run back to your place without getting tagged. At the end the losing team had to carry the winning team on their back which was so funny.



Finally we did a traditional dance in the class. We have some really good dancers in our class :-)

Buddies

Our buddies came to see us today. We were treated to a play that a group of students had written themselves. They designed all the props and did a great job acting out each scene.

We had certificates this week. A big congratulations to Anna and Champa on receiving a very special award each.

Anna showed that she is really KNOWLEDGEABLE. Anna was always involved in all of our discussions about recycling and shared a lot of her prior knowledge about the environment and what we need to do to look after it. Thanks so much for sharing all your brilliant ideas and giving great advice!

Champa showed that she is very CARING. Champa is always making sure that everyone in the class is ok. She helps to carry in the snack basket and the water bottle basket from outside. Champa has been a great help making sure that all our plants have been watered and taken care of. Thanks so much for all your help and for being such a great friend to everyone in our class!

Have a great holiday everyone and enjoy any celebrations you maybe having!
